scraps quilt

I finished this quilt up before we moved in October, but just barely got around to taking any pics. I'm not super in love with it. I like it enough, but something doesn't feel right. I'm not sure if it's the layout or the putty color...I can't put my finger on it, but that's okay, the point was to use up some scraps.

I decided to bind it in this small flower print (Children at Play) to make it a little more pretty, and it turned out to be my favorite part.

When I started this quilt I thought I'd make the whole quilt top scrappy, but changed my mind. I felt like it was getting too busy.

I love this print for backing. It also helps to pretty it up. This is it for 2011! (finally). Baby #4 is scheduled to come this week, so I'm pretty sure I won't be at my sewing machine for a while. Too bad, because I have really been feeling the itch!

oh i love it so much! that binding is perfect. so sweet and pretty. good luck with the new baby! i will miss seeing your makes for the next little while. i see a lot of time on the couch in your future! ;) i hope you enjoy every second of it!

The nice thing about quilts is that even if you don't like the finished product, it is still useable and will serve you well. I rather like it myself, it isn't your run of the mill design and you can bet no one else has one just like it. When you tire of looking at it, you can always tuck it between a couple of sheets or light weight blankets. Thanks for sharing.Susanne :)

It's fun, it's abstract, I really like the FMQ. It's owner will love it, that's the most important part. It's hard to make a scrappy quilt look balanced, maybe it's not even supposed to be. Good luck with #4, it'll be a piece of cake with all your little helpers there :)
